Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] Seimei is concerned with sorters, and in particular, the paper in the sorting rack, which is hung on a moving type sorter that moves the paper bin and receives the paper in one life. Regarding the beginning of defeat.

A sorter that sequentially distributes sheets ejected after copying by an electronic copying machine, etc. into paper bins, etc., and stores them in 1'7 copies. There is a paper bin moving method in which the paper bins are moved, and a fixed method in which the paper bins are arranged in a fixed manner and a guide jig is used to guide the paper sequentially according to the position of the paper bins.

By the way, in the former case, 1 in the vertical or horizontal direction
A plurality of paper bins arranged in a row are moved only vertically or horizontally, and the ejected paper is distributed at fixed positions. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, an example of this type of moving type sorter is shown in FIG. A paper guide H that stores the copied paper that comes in the paper tray 1 by the paper feed roller 3.
% l'f# 4, when the paper bin 1 comes to the position of the paper guide mechanism 4, it receives the paper and is sequentially moved upward, and then the six paper bins 1
The mechanism is such that the paper bin is lowered and the next paper is received.As is clear from Figure 1, this method requires space to move the paper bin, and the height of the entire paper bin is reduced. Approximately twice as much installation space is required,
It is a serious problem to increase the waste of paper bins.・1. (It was t.

In addition, in rmugi and +ji, the river +i'I( discharged from the copying machine is moved by the guide jig 1t to the position of the paper bin which is fixed at a predetermined position 1ρ). go.

For example, this fixed type sorter is shown in Figure 2.
As schematically shown in filJ, there are five paper bins 5 each fixed in a fixed position, and the actual paper bins (from which they are ejected and inserted 1-
16 is fed to the paper reversing machine +:
It is composed of a guide jig 8 which receives the paper via the paper bin J4'7 and sequentially picks the paper bins with the guide jig f'L8. However, there is a huge difference between this lifting platform and the one with a long transportation route. Ta.

Furthermore, when taking out the sheets after sorting was completed, the operator had to reach out and take out the paper bins at a distance of 1,000 cm, making the operation difficult.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances.The present invention makes it possible to easily control the dispensing operation by always keeping the single general feeding path of paper until it reaches the paper bin constant, and to install a large number of paper bins in a small installation space. It is an object of the present invention to provide sorters 1 and 1tf that have a capacity of f: a and also facilitate the removal of sheets from each paper bin after sorting is completed.

[Structure of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the sorter of the present invention has a large number of 141 #t bins arranged in at least two rows, and the paper bins are ejected from a copying machine or the like, and the sorter outputs the following pages:
1. So that you can receive it at a fixed location. In order to circulate the ``Pig J1'' paper bins, the paper bins are equipped with a ↓ function during transfer to apply force in both the horizontal direction and the vertical direction to the paper bins, and after the completion of sorting, To take it out from the paper bin in the correct position [i/I 1i1

The 11 papers will be distributed sequentially to all.

When taking out the paper after distribution, please contact your IRB t.
If you press the li release switch, the specified sheet failure month 1 will be displayed.
The paper bin in which all the paper is stored is the paper removal mechanism 40
At a certain position, that is, at the upper end of the second row, the solenoid moves the paper scraper 46 in the direction of arrow C under the control of the control mechanism, and the paper in the paper bin is guided to the paper outlet 41. Ru.

Then, the paper is warped by the rotor [4]
1 and is ejected, the paper sensor 47
sending a signal to the control mechanism; In response to this signal, the control mechanism issues No. 13 to the paper bin multi-feed mechanism and solenoid, indicating that it is OK to start the next take-out operation. Then, the same removal operation is repeated again.

Further, when the manual ejection switch 43 is pressed to take out the paper tray manually, the solenoid moves the paper scraper 46 in the direction of arrow C, and the paper in the paper bin is guided to the paper ejection port 41. This bark:, I! t −r 11]
The paper +111 is ejected, the mechanism stops, and the cover is 417.
Even if you warp the first generation, it will still be there, and again, manually (

Historically, manual stop switches have been used to stop the paper ejection mechanism in an emergency.

According to this type of sorter, the paper bin is recirculating, so the paper tray is sequentially transferred to the pick-up position and can receive paper without requiring extra space. Can accommodate bottles.

Furthermore, since the paper is always received at a fixed position, the paper path is always constant and control is extremely easy.

Fourth, catch the end paper bin while moving horizontally:
At the warped position, the paper bin is operated at the same time as the paper is received, so the sorting time can be extremely shortened.

In addition, the paper can be taken out in a fixed position,
The work of taking out the lik in the evening is extremely simplified.

Note that the transportation route and arrangement state of the paper bins are not necessarily limited to those in the embodiments, but may be a circulation method using a combination of movement in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction.

In addition, the transport speed of the paper bin in the automatic curling mode of the paper take-out mechanism is changed to the transport speed of the paper bin during sorting (during distribution)! At the same time, the paper bin, which has completed distributing paper at the top end of the first column, is transferred to the top end of the second column, and at the same time, the paper dispenser is controlled to operate. On the one hand, it is possible to further shorten the time from sorting to the end of paper removal, and on the other hand, it is possible to start a new sorting process to an empty paper bin while taking out paper.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the sorter of the present invention,
A large number of open paper bins are arranged in at least two rows, and the paper bins are rotated so that the paper bins can sequentially receive paper ejected from copying machines, islets, etc., at fixed positions. It has a 14-movement means for moving the paper bin in the horizontal direction and in the downward direction, and also takes out the paper after sorting is completed from each paper bin at a fixed position (: fI'+'f By using the newly developed paper ejecting mechanism, it is possible to arrange a large number of paper bins in a small installation space, and the path of the paper stored in the paper bins is always constant. Because of this, it is easy to use a time system (illillage), and the operation of sorting and sorting paper is simple.
